The dictatorship is real."that following "poisonings and other grave threats, this outrageous detention is the latest move in Vladimir Putin’s ongoing effort to silence Kara-Murza and hide the truth about the atrocities Putin is committing in the Russian people's name.
"No one should be deceived by the Russian government’s trumped-up charges and smears, and Kara-Murza should be released immediately," he added.Kara-Murza ended up in a coma in 2015 and again in 2017 after he said he was poisoned in attacks by the Kremlin launched because he called for Western sanctions against Russia's government, per WashPost.
"But investigations by independent organizations found that he had been followed by members of the same federal agency that allegedly poisoned jailed Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny and at least three other opposition figures," WashPost notes.
